John — You might’ve missed this historic news:

Starting in 2022, U.S. quarters will have a new look to them — and it’s happening because of Barbara’s leadership and advocacy!

Thanks to a bill introduced by Barbara, the American Women Quarters Program will now honor notable women on the face of U.S. quarters, with five new women being honored each year through 2025.

The first five women to be honored will be:

*
Maya
Angelou
,
famed
writer,
poet,
and
activist
*
Dr.
Sally
Ride
,
trailblazing
astronaut
who
was
the
first
American
woman
in
space
*
Wilma
Mankiller
,
the
first
female
Principal
Chief
of
the
Cherokee
Nation
and
an
activist
for
Native
American
and
women’s
rights
*
Adelina
Otero-Warren
,
a
leader
in
New
Mexico’s
suffrage
movement
and
the
first
female
superintendent
of
Santa
Fe
public
schools
*
Anna
May
Wong
,
the
first
Chinese
American
film
star
in
Hollywood,
achieving
international
success
despite
racism
and
discrimination

The contributions of women — especially women of color — have long gone unrecognized. Thanks to the American Women Quarters Program, these women and more will finally get the recognition they deserve for the contributions they’ve made to our country.

Do you have any trailblazing women in mind to appear on the quarter? While the honorees for 2022 have already been announced, we want to hear from you to learn which women you’d like to see honored next. Fill out our form to share who you’d like to see: [[link removed]?]
